MECHEL REPORTS SIGNING LONG-TERM DEAL WITH JAPAN’S JFE STEEL CORPORATION
Neryungri, Russia — September 03, 2015 – Mechel OAO (MICEX: MTLR, NYSE: MTL),
one of the leading Russian mining and metals companies, reports signing a
three-year agreement for coal supplies with Japan’s JFE Steel corporation, a
major Asian steel mill.
The agreement will be in force until August 2018.
According to the agreement, Mechel will annually supply JFE Steel up to 1
million tonnes of metallurgical coals, mostly coking coal concentrate produced
by Yakutugol Holding Company OAO, as well as coking coal concentrate produced at
the Elga coal deposit. The price will be determined based on the market
situation.
Apart from JFE Steel, Mechel supplies coal to several other leading Japanese
steelmaking corporations. JFE Steel has been a client of Neryungri coal
producers since 1985 and has proved to be Mechel’s longstanding and reliable
partner. In 2013 JFE Steel Corporation was the first to acquire the trial export
batch of the Elga deposit’s coking coal concentrate. After a series of
industrial tests, our partner gave a highly appreciative opinion of Elga
products’ quality and voiced their interest in long-term ties.
“We are grateful to our partner for their trust ― this is Mechel’s first
contract to be signed with a Japanese company for such a long term. We consider
this three-year agreement with JFE Steel as an important step in implementing
our strategy of diversifying our sales and strengthening ties with Asia
Pacific’s key steelmakers. Considering global commodity markets’ volatility, we
make it our priority to preserve our client base and ensure a stable flow of
orders for our Group’s coal producers,” Mechel Mining Management Company OOO’s
Chief Executive Officer Pavel Shtark commented.
